raw black tourmaline ring / sculptural oxidised handcrafted jewellery by undergrowth studio

I call this the badass raw black tourmaline ring. Handmade in recycled 925 sterling silver, it is a strong statement piece of grungy artisan jewelry. Raw and sculptural, edgy elegance with a dark but positive vibe, perfect for alternative or any other wardrobes. A non binary ring.
Said to have the power to protect you, black tourmaline has a very special, dark and positive quality. It is very magical and is becoming one of my favourite gemstones to work with! This ring is oxidized to a colour as dark as the gemstone- this will wear of gradually with wear, exposing the silver beneath and creating contrast with the stone.

Undergrowth studio is a small, one-woman owned and ran art-jewellery practice. It is based in a small town on the wild coast of Ireland. I handcraft collectible, understated pieces of jewellery full of edgy elegance. They are perfect for wild souls and nature lovers, for those who are drawn to the quiet, the weathered and the beautifully imperfect, the wild, assymetrical and irregular grace of the natural world. For those who love art and are looking for a piece of unique authentic contemporary craft to gift or treasure.
Imbued with the landscape, each piece is a world of its own. Every ring or earring is a small talisman of place, a wearable connection to the rocky shoreline where I love to walk, the corroded cliffs, the intimacy of tide pools, the sun, rain and wind.
My work carries the story of objects sculpted slowly by the elements. Driftwood, beach combed bones, stones whose fragile, weather scarred beauty speaks of impermanence and of our deep connection to the natural world.
Every earring, ring, pendant or bracelet is designed and individually handcrafted. In design, I value simplicity and honesty; in craftsmanship, care and a deep respect for the material. I focus on tactile details so each piece becomes a personal link between the body and the landscape, inviting you to carry a small talisman wherever you go. No two pieces are ever the same.
Unlike generic, mass-produced jewelry, my work is rooted in craft, attention to detail and a respect for the materials’ natural flaws and textures. I aim to create pieces which feel meaningful and grounding, are contemporary and intimate while expressing the primal aspects of our nature and the power of time and tide.
I use recycled silver and upcycle all my studio scraps. I only use eco friendly chemicals in my silver smithing work.
I am always happy to talk about my work, so, if you have any questions, please don‘t hesitate to write!
